She was placed on probation in November 2010, when she pleaded guilty to breaking and entering.

She testified in last November's capital murder case in which her husband, Louis, escaped the death penalty. The self-proclaimed drug addict, who stole from his parents, admitted that he strangled his mother, Frances M. Mann, 53, with a clothesline and shot his father, Philip J. Mann Sr., 59, with a .22 caliber rifle after beating him to death with a flashlight Sept. 30, 2011.
